I don't think you know how it feels to experience what I described prior. I can tell you who has. Me. That's how I know about the whole "discord harassment" issue. I wasn't alone with this problem either but I can speak for myself. Not the others. Honestly though? I'm tired. I don't want to raise huge fusses because all I want to do is play the game. I want to be nerdy, play the game and just do other nerdy things like roleplay, write stories and just be a goof. I don't want to be an advocate but it feels like I have to be in order to see things change for the better. I'm not asking for the GMs to monitor every server but I am asking the rules to include those to be added as evidence if there's misconduct or harassment being done. I want to know when something is finally done. I want them to update their rules and make it harder for people to do this. I want peace of mind, I don't want to sit in the dark and wonder if something's been done or not, only to be disheartened as my harasser is in-game while I'm being told nothing. I get paid to be yelled at while they get yelled at sometimes without collecting a dime. Like I said before, that's commendable. They also need to be able to do more with these changes. If someone does abuse that disclosed information to the public? Then you get the proof and you suspend them too. To be clear, I speak out to advocate; that's it. I learnt a lot from my experience and I want to be able to turn that into pushing for change. Then maybe the only tickets the GMs will get from me is just more of me being lose and unable to find the last enemy after trying to solo a mission line for 2-3 hours. So any GMs that see what I say, and even Devs, I speak but I still respect and appreciate the team in their efforts they do every day. For my mental health, I don't intend to speak further. I don't have the strength to debate and even less to argue. I made my points. Take what you will!

Victims should be told exactly what's being done or has been done under the clause that it cannot be discussed beyond between either the GM/Devs and those involved with the ticket. Those who break this rule with screenshots either in-game or in discord with sufficient proof its that person should have a 3 to 7 day suspension. That's what I'd suggest, anyway. Harassment, no matter where it comes from, shouldn't be tolerated. Homecoming has a harassment problem with players circumventing the rules by using discord, and sometimes even reddit, to get around this knowing that the Homecoming team won't do anything. Its been problematic since 2022 which is why I think there's a lot more that needs to be refined, not just informing victims if a problem has been handled or not. The consensus has been to report to discord directly every time a lot of us report about this issue. The problem is that discord doesn't allow you to report the person/server on discord's website anymore. In order to make the report, you have to physically join the problem server that's been harassing you in order to report the server and/or the person. You can see how this can be an issue. Let me be clear though; I understand the development team and the GMs are volunteers. No one gets paid for what they do and all of this is a voluntary commitment. That is highly commendable, to take time out the day from working a day job, with families, to volunteer to do this level of work. What they do isn't easy. The players? We aren't though. A lot of us, especially me, just want to play the game and roleplay on Everlasting in peace. It shouldn't feel our responsibility to have to deal with the harassment, especially on discord. You shouldn't have to put yourself in danger or be forced to tolerate harassment that is not only affecting people outside of the game but transfers to in-game as well. Allowances need to be made for HC to broaden its reach to platforms accessible via HC itself. If a SG/VG can openly advertise/recruit on Homecoming's discord with an invitation to that SG/VG's discord, then any evidence of misconduct found therein should be admissible in a report. This includes unofficial discord communities as well. Homecoming is considered official now on paper and since Homecoming can advertise on official platforms with NCSoft's approval, then its time to update the rules to meet up today's standards. At the very least, it'd be nice to see things get updated but also ensure the new updates to the policies don't open new loop holes for players to exploit. In tl;dr Homecoming needs to crack down harder on issues and re-write policies to match with today's climate, as well as closing the big glaring loopholes that people have been exploiting since 2022.

I-I just wanted to know since I wanted to roll a Tanker Energy Aura / Radiation Melee. I didn't mean to spark a debate.

With it now on Tankers, I'm intending to give this a shot with Radiation Melee. I wanted to know if anyone has tried this with any builds yet as Tanker? I know that based on numbers, Overcharge appears to be essential and it doesn't have the aftereffects when it goes off!

I can't build worth squat but this is exciting to see! I can't wait to see what others make. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

I admit, I'm questioning this too but when I'm not running on 4-5 hours of sleep and not working, I plan to test this out on the differences. See how it feels!

counter-counter point A lot of this has already been tested in closed beta, and probably already has been doing proper testing. The proper testing has been finished and its just looking for last minute changes before its official release. That being said, I'm so excited AND Energy Aura coming to Tankers at long last!? YASSSSSS!

Well, I know what I'm going to be drinking tonight during Everlasting's daily RWZ runs.

This costume contest looks great but I'm a little put off on the fact that unique names are now being auctioned off via costume contests. There's an issue with names being hoarded as is to the point that they are testing for name releases but even then, if your level 50, you can just have a name forever whether you play that toon regularly or not. It just feels really in poor form to be doing this with unique names now. I know influence/infamy isn't exciting and there's a limit to prizes but I feel like this is a step too far?? Please don't auction off names or use them for contests.

Yeah, I've had this happen to me too. Because I've lost access to original accounts and had to make new ones for the sole purpose of editing the ones I created. But because of the new changes, I've lost access to Solarguard as a page, and can't make further edits due to the new permissions. There's no one to contact either so this is mildly annoying.

Welcome back home! Glad to see you here! I had no idea Tic Toc was you!!

NCSoft can shut down ANY city of heroes private server at any time. As long as you play, you have a good chance of being shut down. With the licensing agreement, Homecoming is less likely to be shut down. If you feel safer on private servers instead of one with a licensing agreement, keep in mind that you run the risk of those servers getting C&D. NCSoft can do that at any time.

Mostly wondering if I should try Fire Melee with Ice Armor or go with Ice Melee with Fire Armor?

You were literally the Gingerbread Man from Shrek 3 in trying to avoid saying yes or no, lol. Glad to see a confirmation at long last!

Oh. My. God. I've been wanting that seer outfit for years. Seeing it-omgosh and everything else, I'm so HYPED!!
